To reach Bob’s Bay at Victoria Domain is about a thirty minute walk along the Cliff Track. While standing along this shoreline, you can see why today’s Picton was an attractive ancestral settlement named Waitohi for the Te Āti Awa, a tribe of the Māori people. In the background is Kaipupu Wildlife Sanctuary. This mainland island was encircled with a 1,970 foot, predator-proof fence in 2008 to become a reserve for Marlborough Region wildlife. You can reach the sanctuary on Kaipupu Point by water taxi and then enjoy a 1.7 mile walking track through the forest.
